Dark city, dark city‚ please
I'm beggin' on my hands and knees
I've got a blindfold‚ I've got blindfold pulled across my eyes
It shouldn't come as no surprise

I need it
Let me cut my teeth
I need it
Pure autonomy-'my-'my-'my-'my

Stop running
Stop running blind
And quit wasting all my time
It's not a new day
It's not a new day if the sun don't rise
It's not a new day if you aren't free

I need it
Let me cut my teeth
I need it
Pure autonomy
I feel it
I want to give 'em the slip
I want to shoot from the hip
Pure autonomy
Pure autonomy-'my-'my-'my-'my
